Stocking Stuffers

What do you want in your holiday stocking? Nothing wrong with a block of chocolate soap IMHO... Or an edgy pair of J-P Gautier sunglasses. So what if these gorge shoes poke a hole in my stocking or make my feet tres miserable... A nice box of Carette petit fours would do nicely... A dozen or two of French homemade jam...MIAM! I'd love my own macaron machine...

You will need a very large stocking indeed. Now I have already celebrated Christmas with my family early, but do wish I had seen this post soon enough for their stockings. They were a bit lacking and I am sure they would have loved some of the ideas here. Merry Christmas!

The new book on Coco Chanel, s'il vous plaît, and since we don't have stockings in my house (that's not a French tradition) Santa can leave the book by my little slippers, next to the fireplace (but I have very SMALL feet! ;-) Joyeux Noël! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)

My wish for a filled Parisian stocking would include first class tix to Paris, some delightful access to accommodation, and all the time required to explore the Paris that you invite us to explore with your wonderful posts.

Stockings have always been my favorite part of Christmas morning... thank you for giving Santa an absolutely perfect "go-to" list.Carol, exchanged gifts tonight with my business partner, purchased one of your French winery water colors for him and he fell in love with it. Thanks again & Joyeux Noel to you and yours!

I want everything in YOUR stocking!! A very happy Christmas to you, Carol, and a big thank you for a wonderful blog that's always a visual treat, amusing, entertaining and fun to visit. Joyeux Noel to you and yours (and Bear) xoxo

Paris, Ile de France, France

I moved to Paris 2 years ago. I should have done it sooner but that's how the macaron crumbles. Living on the Ile Saint Louis next to the Seine after the 19eme is 'la cerise sur la gâteau'. It doesn't get any better. I've painted watercolors for Bocuse, Champagne Mumm, Guerlain, Frederick Cassel, The Russian Tearoom and the Maharana of Udaipur.
